|Unsafe Encounter| - Bamboo's PL: 100,000
Bamboo had found a poster.
Now, if this were the Bamboo of the past, such an occurrence would've been a mundane one. 'Haha, I can't read this poster because I can't read!' she'd say, passing the paper by without a thought. But now? Now was different. She worked out at the library now. She could read children's books now. Even Stephan was impressed by her rapid ascension to literacy, and he was a bear. She was definitely doing something right.
Either way, her newfound understanding of words let her read this poster. Boy was she glad she did! Frankly, the content of the poster was abhorrent. How could people go out and make goodie-good teams without batting an eye? Didn't they know this was Stargoon turf? Well, it wasn't now, but it would be, someday. They were stealing from her future self. And Bamboo hated thieves.
So, best way to get rid of a heroic team? Well, diplomacy, obviously! She'd call one of the members over here and they'd have a talk. By talk, Bamboo meant that she'd demand them to disband the team. If they didn't want to talk, then they could settle the dispute civilly. By civilly, Bamboo meant that she'd beat them up. If they still didn't wanna disband, then she'd leave them alone. By leave them alone, Bamboo meant that she'd continuously harass them until the end of time. It was just the Stargoon thing to do.
All she needed to do was flex and they'd come! Wow. Bamboo was ready. Teacher's teachings had done wonders for her strength. She had thought the only way to get stronger was with her muscles, but now she could use Qi or Ji or whatever and get SUPER strong. She could hit people with her bamboo pole even harder now.
Either way, she was pretty sure a normal flex would do it. With a huff of air, the earth around Bamboo snapped and shattered. Her output of power increased threefold as she entered into her x3 - Combat Cultivation. The sheer power of her flex levitated the broken stones around her- but the flex would pass, and she dropped back into her normal state. She flexed pretty hard, right? Unless the person on the poster was lying. She really hated liars.
Well, if they were a liar, then she'd have even more reason to beat them up! That was the Stargoon way.

Starting PL: 100,000
"Orbital ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEES!" Safe shouted as she managed to use her voice in the void of space. Space quite literally just around Earth, but space nonetheless. In fact, due to her unique biology she was uniquely capable of just, floating about in space without having to worry too much. Flying across Earth over and over in loops was only so entertaining when done with nothing else happening. That's why she had created something very specifics. With spikes of power associated with people flexing or powering up, she would ZOOM down from space to greet them and see if they wanted to join the Super Awesome Team! Flapping her arms around, suddenly she felt a ping, a spike in energy! It was coming from abominable land of Spinach! Oh no! But observe she must, approach she will! Changing trajectory in flight, she started to dash towards the planet. A coating of flames hit her body, though she was strong enough to not even feel a thing. The heat she gave off during her transformations were just as devastating if not even worse than this heat. This was about room temperature still for her body, oddly enough. Blasting into the planet, Bamboo might see and if not see, hear a comet flying down from the sky above only ten or so seconds after she powered up. Zooming inwards, Safe descended in a spiral aaaaaand classic of her, slammed into the ground without putting on the brakes. When the dust settled, her face was planed against the ground and her butt was stuck up in the air. Pressing both hands into the soil around her head, she yanked until there was a pop as her head came free from the ground! " Woah!" She then turned, settling her sights on the energy spike she'd seen. She jumped, entering a fancy stance. " IT IS I, SUPER AWESOME TEAM SAFE AND I SEE YOU HAVE FLEXED TO SPEAK WITH ME!" She shouted, before attempting to zoom right up to Bamboo's face. " Woah! You look super cool!" She said as she attempted to do a quick three sixty of Bamboo. " You have antlers?! That's like super duper awesome. Can you like you know when uuuh..." She scratched her head, " Deers and stuff but heads, you can do that with them!? That's just like how Saiyan's have monkey tails." She said, covering her mouth. " I wish I had a similarity with animals." She did. She was barbaric and borderline sentient at times. Though she quickly started to gawk at other traits. " And your ears!" She said, moving to look at the pointy ears. She'd attempt to poke the tip of one to see if they were sharp. " My ears are like squares, Earthling ears are like kidneys, but yours are like triangles! Wow." She then attempted to zoom back in front of Bamboo. " Is that paint on your face?! It looks super cool. If you join SAT or even if you don't we should still be friends so you can teach me how to make yourself look super cool like that!" She said, eyes sparkling as she gawked further. |

You know, Bamboo was pretty cool. At least, she was pretty sure she was. It wasn't very often she received such lavish and extensive praise. It was always, 'Why are you on the floor?' 'Why is there a bear tied up in the backyard?' 'Why do you smell like grass (and not in the good way)?' Questions Bamboo couldn't usually answer. Well, not in a satisfactory way, anyways.
She always knew her ears and antlers and curse tattoo remnants were cool! It was everyone else who just didn't get it. She guessed Goodies had a better nose for her then everyone else did. Wait, did this Goodie have a nose? Either way, she took a deep breath and prepared to respond to all of the woman's claims individually. All at once.
"Yeah I know right my antlers are pretty cool huh I can do a lot with them watch this snap but its ok because then I can just they grew back yeah oh Saiyans I know about Saiyans my Teacher told me about how there's lots of Saiyans on Earth and I think they have funny tails tail grown but I don't usually like tails so that's ok tail gone and yeah my ears are cool they're long they're triangles but yours are kinda cool too I like geometric shapes a lot so does stephan can you store things in your ears that's probably convenient huh and I've had this stuff on my face ever since I ate something bad and they won't go away but that's okay because they're cool right you think they're cool too yeah right okay."
Deep breath. Thumbs up
"Yeah! We can be friends and I can help you look cool."
Wow. She was so distracted by her excitement that she forgot what she came here for!
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot." She rummaged around in her shirt for the poster. She found it after a pretty alarming time. She also took the liberty of pulling out a leather case. "So, like, I read here that you guys..." She squinted, reading. She gave up trying to phrase it after a few moments. "...are a team of Goodies. Well."
She flipped open her leather case, revealing a badge in the shape of a green star. "I can't let you do that! I'm the Green Stargoon. It goes again our whole thing, y'know? So, y'know, I'm just gonna need to ask you to like, disband it. You know how it is." She waved her hand, dismissing the notion. "You don't really wanna be a Goodie anyways, right? Don't you want a super-cool wanted poster plastered all across the galaxy too?"

Safe immediately panicked when Bamboo just snapped her antler! "AAAH- OH! WOAH!" She said as she continued to ramble and ramble. "That's super cool you have like super regenera- WOAH!" She looked at the tail as it grew out from behind Bamboo, quickly running around her to get a better look. Then it fell off or shrunk back away. "You can like, shapeshift?! That's super cool! I can to when I transform but like not as easy as you! That's awesome!" Safe said, before tilting her head.
"What the heck did you eat to give you super cool face lines? Wooaaaah, how is that something bad?!" She said, clearly not knowing the full story. She then raised a hand up and stuck a finger in her ear. "... Huh. I don't usually bring a lot with me so no I've never thought of that..." She pondered, thinking. "Though my ear shrinks a lot inside it's just the outside that looks like a box inside it actually is more earie." She cracked up at the pun, even if it made no sense.
"YES! That's awesome! I've met a lot of people so far, but, like, you - me, we're going to be the best of friends! Aaaaah everyone is so serious and broody and weird and fiinaaaaaaally someone I can relate too aaaaaaaah!" She said, hands coming up to hold the sides of her own head.
She then looked downwards towards the poster that came out. When it eventually did, of course. "Super. Awesome. Team!" She said, doing a fancy pose like a striking cobra! "Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Though as she flipped out a badge and announced she was a Stargoon, Safe just tilted her head and raised a brow. She didn't seem spooked or suddenly on edge, she was probably the more lax of SAT, she was an enigma, after all.
Rubbing the back of her neck, she answered. "I mean, Stargoons are like the opposite of Super Awesome Team then right? I mean maybe Stargoons were there first but like you're super cool, I'm well just slightly less cool because I don't have horns and face lines and super shapeshifty powers, so we could like get along? I uh..." She considered for a moment. "All I really want is for good and bad to get along when they fight, so like... If Stargoons fought Super Awesome Team, the winner gets what they're after but they still respect each other as fighters." She said, triumphantly nodding twice.
"I just had to write the thing super good because everyone else on the team is super serious." She said, walking forward and pointing to the poster. "Aurora bullies me, she put in all these comments before putting it out. I just want to have fun, and make the Universe have more Fighting Spirit!" She shouted, doing a fist pump.
"So yeah, I'm super duper sorry but what do Stargoons do anyways? That's a frikken awesome name by the way."

Wow! How could a person like this really exist? Bamboo had been looking her whole life for someone who spoke her language.
"I KNOW!" She tossed her hands in the air out of raw exasperation, almost immediately forgetting her purpose here once again. "They are!!! They are!!! They, like, always give you that expression, you know the one, where they're all, all like-" She crossed her arms and furrowed her eyebrows in a very Aida-like way. "'I will eliminate you for the good of this realm,' and like, why can't they just eliminate me because they wanna eliminate me, huh? Huh? It doesn't make sense!" It probably did.
She did give the girl a thumbs-up, though, with as much gusto as you would expect. "Yeah! Let's be best friends!"
Was this breaking Goon code? Nah, not really. Goons were more like family. Yeah. She'd think about this later.
"I dunno if the Stargoons are the opposite of the Super Awesome Team. We're like, pretty awesome too, so, like yeah." She flexed. "We're the bad guys for hire! We go out and do bad things. You can hire us too. We don't work for goodies, though." She shook her head. "We're working on our re-branding, I think. There's gonna be like, a whole Goon-Con, and Star Soda, and we sell Stargoon Merchandise on our website, too!" The shirts were extraordinarily itchy. That was the evil part. Oh, and they'd vaporize you after a few hours.
"I getcha, though. I'm feelin' what you're feelin'. I'm feelin' you deeply, y'know?" She really was! "The other guys are pretty cool. But they're angry sometimes." Bamboo shifed around some ground with her foot. "And, um, one of them keeps going to these places where those fights break out but instead of fighting she starts dancing and holding hands with people and sometimes she says weird things in weird ways." It was a mouthful, but she probably understood, right? If anyone was to understand, it'd be her, this kindred spirit!
"I'd rather just fight them instead of holding hands! Fighting Spirit! Huzzah!" Huzzah!

Safe simply nodded along with quite literally almost everything Bamboo had to say. From the first sentence of her response to the last, every word resonated with her. She was patient enough and relaxed enough at this point to at least wait her turn, to which she'd respond. "Mhm. Like, I know this is gonna sound super weird if you consider me like goodie good but eliminating is super boring I think because..." She put a finger to her chin, thinking. "It makes it so you can never fight that person again!" She said, raising up her fists and throwing a number of punches forward.
"The good people you're talking about are super full of themselves, they think they're like waaaaaaaaay better than bad people but I just see all people as people no matter who what where when or why or also how can't forget how that's an important one." She said, nodding twice quickly. "They think they can eliminate people because they're apparently better but really they're not they're problem kids with problem problems and need a whack on the back of the face mhm mhm."
Folding her arms, she nodded enthusiastically like a bobble head off the deep end. "I am soooo gonna buy Stargoons stuff! You're right I didn't mean opposite like not awesome bad I meant opposite like Super Awesome Team is like influenced a lot by the bad kind of good so I guess overall it's a good thing and Stargoons are like y'know Goons grr bad. That kind of opposite! If my new friend is in the Stargoons, then the Stargoons are awesome." She said, a puff of steam venting out of her ears as she nodded her head again.
"You guys should like totally recruit maybe some day I'd join I dunno." She said with a shrug, "But yeah. Impression time!" She said, and immediately her face became almost hardened in the most serious expression as she puffed up her chest and let her hair cast a shadow over her eyes.
"I am Aurora I am angry shiny person and I have noticed big scary world threatening problem that eliminates all capacity for fun apparently because I just want to spread misery despite saying I want to do good hee hee hoo hoo." She then jumped across from herself, putting on an angry face with a big frown.
"I am Kuma and I want to do good stuff but apparently I lose before a fight I instantly lose when you call me names because I can't take lighthearted banter at face value without having a tantrum!" Safe said, thrashing her arms and head around.
She then let out a sigh, returning to form.
"Based on a true story..." She said with a bit of sadness in her tone, shoulders slouching and head lowering.
"I think fights are good if people fight as Fighters and not as good and bad when they fight, if that makes sense." She ended on a bit of a sadder note it seemed.

Bamboo totally knew about the bad kind of good. That was the kind of bad (good?) that she always hoped to be! Looked like the Super Awesome Team was off her goodie-good hitlist.
For now. Her new best friend wouldn't mind an old fashioned nemesis rivalry, right? Bamboo was more of a traditionalist.
But maybe she didn't even need to worry about that! She wanted in the Goons. Well... she didn't think the Goons were recruiting, right now. She wasn't even recruited, really- Mumbo just kinda picked her up and took her back to the base. Literally. Ah, fond memories! "Yeah, maybe! Though, uh, what color would you be?" Bamboo tilted her head in thought. Mumbo was grey, but he was the Black Stargoon. She was grey, too- Black Stargoon 2? Blacker Stargoon? Black Stargoon Lite? Bamboo wasn't really sure. The others were way better with this kinda naming stuff.
Ah! Finally! Someone else who didn't wanna kill just for the sake of it!"I know, right!? If someone dies, then they can't get their revenge on you! People always fight twice as hard when they're out to get ya, y'know?" Bamboo nodded. "The Saiyan guys get a lot stronger, apparently. At least, that's what Teacher says." Teacher was never wrong. Well, she liked to cook her rice, so she was right, like, 95% of the time. Bamboo was okay with this number, even considering that she wasn't really sure what a 'number' was.
Though, she supposed there was some exceptions to the rule. "I think the people who fight the other Goons and stuff gotta go, though. Gotta, like, send a message to all the prospective goodie-goods or other baddies! We're the top dog baddies! Yeah! Arms up!
Wow, she could do impressions, too? Bamboo laughed at them (a bit too hard, honestly) before collecting herself with a final snort. "Oh, oh, I think I met that Kuma guy! He was, like, at a convenience store that was being robbed. Not by me, by another guy. I, uh..." She thought for a moment. "...don't remember anything about him. But I'll definitely beat him up the next time I see 'em for ya! Oh, the other one, too!" She shook her fist in affirmation. She was pretty good at friendship!
It seemed like her new best friend was fight-philosophizing, now. Bamboo didn't philosophize, nor was she a philosopher, but fight-philosophizing? She could do.
"I'unno. I like fighting people as a fighter, but sometimes, fighting for the sake of fighting just doesn't really, like, motivate people, I think." She nodded and placed her head on her hand. Wasn't she here to disband the group, or something? Eh. She'd do it later. "Sometimes, people just wanna get strong for one reason. Like, to protect stuff. That's usually the big one for goodies..."
She held up a finger and wagged it. "So, if you're just hanging out, they won't wanna fight you! But, now, if you attack the stuff they wanna protect, boom! They're all over you!" She giggled at her assessment before nodding.
"That's how it is, I think. It's just that the people who do the attacking are called 'baddies' and the ones who do the protecting are called 'goodies.' It's like, y'know, other stuff that goes together. Like water and fish. Like squirrels and trees. Like bears and libraries." Wow! This was kinda fun. Nobody else took her seriously enough to seriously consider any of her fight-philosophy! She thought it was pretty damn good.
"Soooo... yeah." She gave her companion a wink. "We do evil for evil's sake. We're the ones starting the fights. That's why it's so fun! Waitin' for people to destroy the stuff you like before you put up a fight is lame. You're, like, not even in control of your own life!" To someone like Bamboo, such a caviat was unacceptable. How could anyone not want to be in control of their own lives?
She'd tried to do that her whole life! Goodies sure were weird.
